Don't Leave Me

by hayley williams   Sep 9, 2004


Please you cannot leave me here alone
You are the only lifeline I have ever known
I can no longer stand living in this pain
Without you here with me I will go insane

I will wilt and eventually die if you go
In my world of dark you are the only glow
I am not strong enough yet I need you here
My life is overcome by nightmares and fear

What can I do if you chose to run away
I am on my knees begging you to stay
At least until I get strong enough to win
Until I feel comfortable in my own skin

I hate having to lean on you so much
Holding you back from your own life
You have slowly become my only crutch
Without you I would have used a knife

I wasn’t happy, I just didn’t want to live
But you came along and changed everything
told me there was so much left for me to give
It was like you came and fixed my broken wing

Now you are going to just leave me alone
To drown in my own blood, sweat and tears
How am I meant to cope all on my own
Or deal with my ever growing fears

I can see why you want to leave today
It must be annoying with me being needy
Without you I will not ever find my way
But I realize I am being selfish and greedy

It is your choice, if you want to then fly
I have nothing else left to say to stop you
But if you do go I know I will surely die
So please make sure that you think this through
